No metalworker listed in Langholm yet.

A metalworker forges and fabricates metalwork - gates, railings, handrails, fire baskets, brackets and bespoke decorative ironwork for homes, gardens and commercial properties.

Scotland has a strong tradition of ornamental ironwork and a skilled metalworker can produce pieces that are both functional and distinctive in a way that factory-made alternatives never are.

For listed buildings or properties in conservation areas, a metalworker who understands heritage specifications can produce work that satisfies planning requirements while matching the character of the original.

Langholm is a small town in Eskdale, sitting at the confluence of the River Esk and the Ewes Water in the far east of Dumfries and Galloway, close to the English border.

Known as the Muckle Toon, Langholm is the birthplace of the poet Hugh MacDiarmid and has a strong tradition of common riding - the Langholm Common Riding in July is one of the most spectacular in the south of Scotland.

The town was historically a centre for tweed and textile production and the Armstrong clan has deep roots in the surrounding valleys - Neil Armstrong's ancestors hailed from the Langholm area.

Langholm has a compact main street, local shops and a community-owned moorland estate and sits on the A7 between Hawick and Carlisle.

Dumfries and Galloway is the most south-westerly council area in Scotland, stretching from the English border at Gretna to the Mull of Galloway - the southernmost point in Scotland - and from the Solway Firth coast inland to the hills of the Southern Uplands.

Dumfries is the largest town and administrative centre, a handsome red sandstone burgh on the River Nith where Robert Burns spent the last years of his life and is buried in St Michael's Kirkyard.

The region divides naturally into three historic areas: Dumfriesshire to the east, Kirkcudbrightshire (the Stewartry) in the centre and Wigtownshire to the west - each with its own character, landscape and loyalties.

The Galloway coast and countryside have a mild climate influenced by the Gulf Stream, fertile farmland, dark-sky reserves and a string of small harbour towns that attract artists, writers and visitors drawn to the quiet and the landscape.

Despite its size, the region is one of the most sparsely populated in Scotland - a place where community is strong, the pace is slower and the landscape ranges from river valleys and rolling farmland to wild moorland and rocky coastline.
